hogman Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Well I have to say - I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the Elvington track day yesterday! Had a great time learning the car and even though I spun twice - I loved every minute of it! Alternator or regulator went in the afternoon so a drained battery stoppped play, but all part of the fun! I used Footman James breakdown for the first time ever - and can honestly say it will be the last time too! Nearly 2 1/2 hours to get to me! I was just outside York (Elvington) so it was hardly a remote place!! Not happy with them at all so a nice complaint will be winging its way there! Anyway, how did everyone else get on? Enjoy themselves I hope?? Cheers Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I had a great day too, I will certainly go to Elvington again, top value at half the price of a "proper" circuit. Shame we didn't get to mix it with the Elise's and the Noble though. Sorry to hear about the breakdown, I've got Footman James recovery and AA, think I'll just use the AA.

timd Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Yep, top day - thanks for setting it all up Kevin, nice one. Hope your electrical gremlins are easy to diagnose and repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Yes had an excellent day, the (hopefully) attached pic is my son driving, did anyone witness the monumental spin he had coming onto the "home" straight!, the skidmarks on the track were nothing compared to the ones in my underwear! However after another lesser spin he settled down and drove really well, I thought. Has anyone got any photos to share, I bought the CD from the pro photographers, fantastic pics, but the better ones, I think are the few taken in the company of other cars. The attached photo is a good one but I had to crop it really tight to make it small enough to load onto G/Hosting. Good to meet a few bods, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
